Bad Hugh

CHAPTER XXVI
10/16

Harney will buy her.
He likes pretty darkies." * * * * * "Oh, horror! can Ad be a woman, with womanly feelings ?" Hugh exclaimed, feeling as if he hated his sister.
But after a moment he was able to listen while his mother asked if it would not be better to persuade Adah not to go to Terrace Hill.
"It may interfere with 'Lina's plans," she said, "and now it's gone so far, it seems a pity to have it broken up.

It's--it's very pleasant with 'Lina gone," and with a choking sob, Mrs.Worthington laid her face upon the pillow, ashamed and sorry that the real sentiments of her heart were thus laid bare.
It was terrible for a mother to feel that her home would be happier for the absence of a child, and that child an only daughter, but she did feel so, and it made her half willing that Dr.Richards should be deceived.

But Hugh shrank from the dishonorable proceeding.
Mrs.Worthington always yielded to Hugh, and she did so now, mentally resolving, however, to say a few words to Adah, relative to her not divulging anything which could possibly harm 'Lina, such as telling how poor they were, or anything like that.
